<u>Complete Question:</u>

Adam calculates his annual commission, y, using the model y = 0.28 x, where x represents his total sales for the year. What is the meaning of the x-intercept in the model?

A) the x-intercept represents Adam's base pay

B) the x-intercept represents the highest salary Adam can earn

C) the x-intercept represents Adam's total sales when he earned no commission

D) the x-intercept represents Adam's commission pay when he had zero total sales

<u>Correct Answer:</u>

"the x-intercept represents Adam's total sales when he earned no commission" is the meaning of the x-intercept in the model

option C

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here ,basically equation of straight line is given as  y = 0.28 x . x-intercept is when y=0 i.e.

⇒ y=0.28x

⇒ 0=0.28x

⇒ x=0

Therefore , x-intercept in the model means when annual is commission is zero , as he haven't worked till now . So, correct option C).

The volume of the shipping box needs to be 1,144 cubic inches. The equation that models the volume of the shipping box is 8(n +
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

8(n + 2)(n + 4) = 1,144

FOIL

8(n^2 +2n+4n+8) = 1144

Divide each side by 8

8/8(n^2 +2n+4n+8) = 1144/8

(n^2 +2n+4n+8) = 143

Combine like terms

n^2 +6n+8 = 143

Subtract 143 from each side

n^2 +6n+8 -143= 0

Combine like terms

n^2 +6n -135 =0

Factor

What two terms multiply to -135 and add to 6

-9*15 =-135

-9+15 = 6

(n-9) (n+15) =0

Using the zero product property

n-9 =0    n+15=0

n = 9   n=-15

The length cannot be negative so n = -15 cannot be  a solution

n =9

Simplify the following expression 2/5 + 4/3 over 3/5
madreJ [45]
This written out is:

2/5 + 4/3
------------
     3/5

Roughly, now first we need to change the denominators to all match up in order to properly solve this problem.

Both 5 and 3 go into 15, 5 goes into 15 3 times and 3 goes into 15 5 times. With that said, multiply the individual numerators by 5 and 3.

2/5 -> 2*3/15 -> 6/15
4/3 -> 4*5/15 -> 20/15
3/5 -> 3*3/15 -> 9/15

With this, we then add the top numerator of the overall problem:

26/15
------- | With this we now cross-multiply.
 9/15

26/15 * 15/9 = 390/135 | Now to simplify this.

135 goes into 390 twice, as 270. Subtract 390 by 270, leaving us with 120.

Meaning: 2 120/135 is the answer, but now to simplify. Divide 120 and 135 by 5 to lessen this.

24/27 | Divide this by 3 to get your most simplified answer.
8/9 | Leaving us with the answer of:

2 8/9

I hope this helps, have a great rest of your day! ^ ^
